So I've been looking for a good webcomic that would be good to read? It doesn't have to be translated into English but if it is, that would be awesome.

Some of the webcomics I already follow here on Batoto, as well as ones I've read:
  • Orange Marmalade
  • TAL
  • Noblesse
  • Tower of God
  • Special Martial Arts Extreme Hell Private High School
  • Trace (& Trace 1.5)
  • Crepuscule
If you can't really think of any good webcomics, manga is great as well. Most of them are action/fantasy/fighting/supernatural types of webcomics, but romance is good too. It's just I'm a lot pickier with Romance because I feel a lot of them are the same. Thanks!

I've actually tried reading The God of High School. It was really interesting at first, but the whole "straight on/direct tournament" thing isn't really my style. It was good though. I'm going to try the other that you guys recommended (: Green Boy seems really popular, so looking forward to reading it!

Green Boy is interesting. It has something deeper than some (many) other series out there. I would recommend it :).

God of High School ends up being more than just a tournament fight :).

Magician(egscans) is pretty good and Girl the Wild(webtoonlive) isn't bad either.

edit: Knight Run and Kubera are both good too but I think the group doing Knight Run stopped and Kubera is on a slower release schedule.

edit: Transfer Student Storm Bringer and Nowhere Boy might be worth checking out too but they are both a little wacky.

edit: You should read Moonlight Sculptor its a korean novel but a few volumes have been translated and it is good the author even said it was ok with him for people to do translation not for profit upto vol 5 so he is cool too :D here can get you started can find more with google. http://novel.oddsquad.org/p/moonlight-sculptor.html

I've actually already started Magician, and I think it's great! All the other recommendations seem really great. I'm a little scared/iffy about the novel though, because even translated novels are always iffy... and this one is translated "unofficially" (like it was volunteered for). I'm going to try reading it anyways though. Kubera seems interesting.

I also tried reading Transfer Student Storm Bringer a while back and I think it was too wacky for me so I stopped :/ haha

I've already read The Breaker, and am currently reading The Breaker: New Waves (although it doesn't seem as interesting as the first). I've heard a lot of good things about Veritas, so I'll try that one.

I second Kubera.

My others recs:
- Layers (a story about a parallel world to which you can transfer),
- Kiss wood (the story is about an old man but actually quite interesting).
- Other that I liked but which are more romance focused: Nineteen twenty-one (apparently not on Batoto), Come Spring, Temptation Moon (but it looks like the author isn't going to continue that one)

*Ninja'd since... 2011*


Also... can't seem to do calculations properly

That and Orange Marmalade were the only ecchi-less romance series that I liked.

I woudn´t start reading this one, the admin of that site that I was working with went MIA. I can´t translate so yeah, if he/she doesn´t come back, I think we won´t be seeing any chapter for a while.

It's just I'm a lot pickier with Romance because I feel a lot of them are the same. Thanks!


Back to the topic, i strongly recommend http://cartoon.media.daum.net/webtoon/view/nosee. It will make you cry more oft than laugh but it is really beautiful and completely out of ordinary. And it has breathtaking ending, it leaves me in some state between joy/sadness/yearning for hours every time i read it it. Might sound like weird thing to praise but i have read so many mangas/manhwas/comics that had incomplete/rushed or overall bad endings that it left me jaded. This one is a piece of art so complete, it stands perfect inside its genre.

if the founder of the group didn´t leave, I would still work on typesetting it... if I can find a translater I will do it with kiss scans.
